Temptation ComradesPeople of the worldWe ain't got nothing to loseGot them Bourgeoisie BluesMr. IV Lenin, Lenin of loveGonna make us feel so fine, with a hitOf socialism, in the mainline

Bourgeois ParliamentarianThe highest state of societyThird world debt, first world exploitationWhat a society we're living inSellin' third world drugs at first world pricesThey say Lenin was wrong, who says?It's enough to give me the fucking blues

I know you're searching for some new sensationCause I saw you withe the sugar manYou took a taste of that sweet salvationNow you're eatin' out the palm of his handYou hear some line from a song that reminds youOf a time when you were seventeenThe memory moves ya but ya feel kinda confusedCause now money is your melody

Looks likeTemptations got a hold on youShe's eating away at your dreamsYou're so hungry for that smell of moneyYou been, wasting away for years

Yeah you've been tempted brother,You been tempted sister too.

Here you were hustling with some heavy connectionsHooked up on those dollars and dimesYou were looking for thrills and dressed up to killAny motherfucker messing with your goldmineNow you walk the line trying to buy yourself timeYou want a honey backed guaranteeBut the bees they are buzzing and the flies they are hummingRound the holes in your hypocrisy

Looks likeTemptations got a hold on youShe's eating away at your dreamsYou're so hungry for that smell of moneyYou been, wasting away for years

What do we want?(something about government)Larry Love: And what kinda power?Soviet powerIt's enough to give me the fucking blues!

Socialism, straight in the mainline!See you're wasting away now See you're wasting away now See you're wasting away now See you're wasting away now
